trans is in the same basket as gay or lesbian for me at this point: live and let live. i don't give two shits if a biological male wants to cut off his junk and don a pink skirt and run around as a pretty princess.
i take issue when a) i'm required to be in on the gig b) they're actively killing women's sports and c) advocating for children to make permanent life altering decisions
i can mostly ignore b and c, they are problematic, but not really my fight. if female athletes are ok competing with biological males then cool, good luck with that. if not, they gotta sack up and come out and say so, then i'll join the fight with them. if parents (likely afflicted by some form of munchausen by proxy) want to use their young children in order to gain attention in their woke friend circles by affirming their 7 year old's gender and getting them a sex change then cool. sorry kid, hope you still feel the same as an adult. if not, rest easy, at least your mum was super virtuous.
so that leaves a which directly affects me. if a trans person was earnest and genuinely wanted me to refer to them as something other than their biological sex, and it didn't feel like some kind of power move, then i probably would. if the govt tries to compel me to they can go pound sand.
e: dumbass emojis. whatever
You know what is the funny thing.
These were never really a problem in Asia.
Thailand is like the capital of Transgender.
The ladyboys live their lives happily and a lot of them find "love"
The Gays and Lesbians have their own community which they mix and mingle amongst themselves.
They didn't get themselves involved in the political scene like how it is in the United States.
Are there gays and lesbians teaching in schools ? Yes, but they all act normal, they don't tell the whole world they are gay. I had a gay teacher that we never knew he was gay until I was in my late 20s.
The transgender didn't teach in schools to little kids, they have their own job etc etc.
Are there discrimination? Yes definitely, but it wasn't life threatening, and these people have their own good friends and similar circle that they hang out with.
But the community in the United States decided to go nuclear on this and decided to spread their agenda in many many different ways and the media start going woke on it. That is where the problem start , and it seems that it cannot be undone.
